The agency reportedly issued the public notice after the singer failed to honour a summons to appear at their office on May 30, 2025, regarding a viral Instagram Live session where he allegedly admitted to having sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl.

Although Speed Darlington had asked to reschedule the meeting for June 26 due to other engagements, NAPTIP went public with the declaration after he failed to show up again.
